Thanks for this! I've been a lifelong pc user and now that I'm learning web development, I just picked up a used macbook to see what all the hype is about. This was really helpful to get pointed in the right direction.
Thank you so much! It is really a great machine for development and I wish you luck on your new journey. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out Taylor.

Great setup. Do you do this manually or have you built some shell scripts to do these steps? If not, it would be a good next step. I have done this and want to bring in some of your steps.
I do this pretty manually. I could probably automate it but for whatever reason setting up a new machine is one of those things I really enjoy doing :)
Great write up!
Thank you!
Amazing article Dan! Thanks for sharing this, sir!
I really don't do a ton on Windows so hopefully, someone with a little more experience there can provide that.
sir, I am currently using a MacBook Air 2017 can I use it for development purpose?
The font looks nice. I am always worried using a credit card for a site that I do not know. Wish they took Paypal
I have purchased it for 2 machines and I have never had an issue, but I totally get it.
Thanks a lot. Every new mac user should read this.
Nice write-up. There are new some tools I have not used. So I will try them. To add a few more, source tree, postman, Oh my zsh, Dropbox, PDF reader. Etc.
Thanks for the feedback... I use Postman & Dropbox so I will get those added.
my bash profile link you mentioned is not working.please check.
Thank you, fixed!
Excellent post for necessary tools and softwares needed in a New Mac setup. Thanks Dan for sharing.
You are a life saver man. New to macs and macOS and had 0 idea of where to start or the correct programs to use. Thank you so much
Hi, Dan nice post, maybe could you give me an advice, do you think that a macbook pro of 15-inch worth it?, or it will ok taking the 13-inch model.
I personally have a 15-inch but it was because at the time the specs were way better. I have the 13-inch for work and that is a really good machine. I don't really care about the screen size because I usually have it hooked up to an external monitor and I actually like the smaller screen when I travel. I would say take a look at your budget and the specs you need to get your work done and let that be the basis of your decision.
